Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his celebrated collaborative work with Brian Eno and Lou Reed, the former Velvet Underground multi-instrumentalist returns to a surprisingly accessible solo pop-rock format. The production favors rich, mellow orchestration and straightforward songwriting, largely eschewing his trademark avant-garde tendencies.
